It's been fun.
About 8:30 the Friday before last the power went down. Only it didn't go down right away. It went off and came back on for a minute and went back off and came back on for a moment again before it crapped out for about three hours.
When the power came on and I checked my computer, my computer could not get into windows. As it turns out the nature of the power outage caused a partial reboot and just screwed up the operating system but good.
My father knows a lot about computers and we worked with it trying different things but windows would not work no matter what we did.
The next option was to get another hard drive and install everything again and get my files off the old hard drive (which I believed and hoped was good). That was a series of misadventures too but we finally got it going.
Only, putting the old hard drive in prevented it from booting up because of the other operating system. The next course of action was to get a USB adapter so the hard drive could be plugged in after reboot.
That came in today and I am just getting finished getting all the repro and custom box files and other stuff off that old drive onto the new. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. If the old drive was somehow bad and the files could not be gotten, I have an old computer with the lion share of the material but not anything from the last year or so. Needless to say, provisions for backup are underway.
